[SEL] Quirky exhibits

[Luke Tonneberger]

One of my favorites is the the little wooden dancing couple the Munter's 
have. They have an engine belted to a dummy pulley that doesn't really power 
anything using a rope for a belt. The pulley is attached to the outside of a 
nice wooden box on legs with two wooden figurines on the top. The figurines 
are attached to a rod that goes down inside the box. When someone walks by 
the little wooden couple begins dancing by the rods going up and down. When 
the people continue on past they stop their dancing. People think it is 
activated when they happen to walk by. Little do they know it is remote 
control operated. It is really something else to watch the spectators 
interact with the 'magic' box.
